I loved the writing and the artwork. The characters are wonderful, and I gotta say, the Glam Necromancer was the cutest villain ever. Aaaa play this!

It's actually cross platform, not just Widows!

crazi456 2013-08-27 06:55

Was very amusing, art was awesome!

designatius 2013-08-27 07:56

It looks so cool, nice work!

shugor 2013-08-27 08:37

Pretty entertaining story you have here, and nice art too!

twistedsnail 2013-08-27 08:48

That was intense storytelling

amber 2013-08-27 08:59

Loved the look and the sound, wouldn't have minded a bit more gameplay. :-)

Awesome game. One of my favourite entries. Great art and characters, pretty good music, funny story. Near perfect !

oajfh 2013-08-27 09:53

Pretty basic use of the theme though, and TOO SHORT !

i enjoyed this a lot, the writing and artwork is great.

Very good entry, liked it all (except too short but what can you do in 72 hours :P)

shmarah 2013-08-27 19:44

The art style was so unique, even if the colors were kind of blindingly over-saturated; five stars for mood! These guys deserve their own universe. Would have loved to see even more custom designed things like an HUD/fonts but the important thing in 72 hours was the glamtastic story!

I'll admit I was rather skittish about messing with the default GUI graphics out of a fear I'd break shit, or I'd end up submitting something that looked sloppily done. Ren'Py is easy to use, but I am Not A Fan of its documentation.

Still though, I've learned a lot! My next foray into Ren'Py will def. be more ambitious. By the by, both me and Wicked are blown away by all these positive comments. We're so happy you've enjoyed playing.

Love the idea. I thought the 10s would be a last minute forced into the story but you worked it into the game in a way that I didn't expect it to.

imef 2013-08-27 23:05

Abolutely hilarious! The art is wonderful!

khaotom 2013-08-28 00:21

That was a sweet story, I'm glad I saved the world from a pizzapocalypse. Love that priest has a cross patterned hoodie. also the typo (was it?) near the end made me laugh... "sharted" instead of "started".

jellycakes 2013-08-28 00:38

That was pretty cool, I haven't seen anything like the time restraint mechanic in a visual novel before. The art and the music was good, the writing was funny. Nice job.

gmaker 2013-08-28 17:53

Cool artwork!! Awesome! Thanks for game

yngar 2013-08-28 17:57

I love those characters, great writing and the art is amazing.

epiplon 2013-08-28 18:04

Haha, I had fun. Nice story.

meta87 2013-08-28 19:10

Loved the writing and graphics. Really hooked me in with the story, great job :D

susanthecat 2013-08-28 21:36

This game is super dynamic fun! Let me know if you want help redoing the interface in Ren'py.

christinaneofotistou 2013-08-29 00:25

Fantastic work you two!!!

tomk32 2013-08-30 08:17

Haha, unlicensed manipulation of deceased sound so nice but i don't want to think about it.

Hillarious story, sounds, music, graphics all there. Excellent work for your first ludum dare.

kddekadenz 2013-08-31 10:59

Awww.. A pizza heart :3
Despite being not a game, but an interactive story, the player hasn't really an impact on (the game needs you to get to the "good" ending), I enjoyed it. The artwork was good and the music did fit the game.

grooveman 2013-08-31 22:49

Ah, there are people that would heavily contest that kind of definition of a game. I presently work on the paradigm that a game is "an experience defined by rules", if that gives context.

I did consider including an option to turn down Priest's offer to reset things, leading to the game ending, but that doesn't achieve much other than making the player go through everything again if they didn't save.

phocker 2013-09-02 04:27

like the idea -- not sure where the theme fit in -- also the characters swearing took away from the otherwise fine scripting you were doing -- nice effort

mandraw 2013-09-13 14:41

Reaaaly good !
tough I dint like the theme was used I think everything else is so good , it almost overcomes it !

lordjosephdeburg 2013-09-15 20:41

short, fun and good art style, pretty unique entry really. good jam.
